1. The Rocky Mountains

The Rocky Mountains are the largest mountain system in North America, which just-so happens to cross over the Canadian border! This is a must-see attraction, and stands as a testament to the beauty of Mother Nature. Whether you want to hike or merely observe, there’s plenty of sights to see here.

2. Niagara Falls

As equally dazzling as The Rocky Mountains, Niagara Falls is a feat of organic engineering and stands as an area of outstanding natural beauty. Watch as water pours over a 52-metre cliff, at the rate of 3000 tonnes per second! Powerful and practical, Niagara Falls is the first stop for many tourists.

3. Thousand Islands National Park

The Thousand Islands National Park is filled with over 1,800 floating islands, adorned with gorgeous trees and stunning wildlife. It straddles the border between Canada and the US, making it a good pitstop for global tourists. Cruises are also offered, so you can photograph the sights in style! 

4. The Great Lakes

Canada has more lakes than we can count, and combined, the Great Lakes constitute a massive supply of fresh water worldwide! Not only are they beautiful to look at, they sustain our life. We highly recommend a visit, and particularly a canoe-trip across the Great Lakes.

5. Quebec

Quebec is one of Canada’s most famous provinces, French-speaking and European in architecture. Quebec’s rich history makes it an extremely valuable place to visit, as you’ll learn so much more about Canada! The vibrant, splendid buildings that decorate every corner are sure to make Quebec an unforgettable trip, too.

6. Toronto

Toronto is Canada’s largest city – vast, modernized and covered in glassy skyscrapers. If you love city living, and want an unimaginable number of activities to explore and do, we highly recommend paying Toronto a visit. From Casa Loma to St. Lawrence Market, no part of Toronto is a let-down. 

7. Okanagan Valley

Okanagan Valley is one of Canada’s lushest, most fertile landscapes. Home to scores of orchards, wineries and lakes, Okanagan Valley is a beautiful getaway in the summer, and a must-visit ski resort in the winter. Whatever season you choose to visit, Okanagan Valley will be sure to please you!

8. Whistler

If you’re a fan of quaint mountain resorts, surrounded by stunning landscapes, that also happened to host the 2010 Winter Olympics, Whistler is the tourist spot for you. Spotted with tasty restaurants, intriguing museums, shops, galleries, festivals and an endless rota of Winter sports, you’ll never be bored of the sights in Whistler. 

9. Vancouver

The capital of British Columbia and a renowned coastal seaport, Vancouver is a city the likes of which you’ve never seen before. Fjords and mountains exist side-by-side with skyscrapers and suburbs. There are so many beautiful architectural landmarks in Vancouver, you could spend your entire Canada trip exploring them all!

10. Montreal

The largest city in the Quebec province, Montreal, is a cultural hotspot that you cannot miss. “Vieux Montreal” or Old Montreal, is filled with buildings dated to the French settlements of the 1500s. Montreal’s summer festival season is equally wonderful, where French-speaking artists come to amaze crowds of thousands! For the cultural experience alone, Montreal stands out.
